Fantasy News 2022
No 7 Edition
We haven’t had a Fantasy League report for a while partly as I have writer’s block and partly because Belly has been time constrained as apparently, he still goes to work on some days. To catch up we have four competitions to report which now include the singles and doubles knockouts, the Twilight Cup, and round 3 of the 4 Seasons Cup (please note: I have to check we haven’t missed any competitions – (please complain to Belly if we have – he’s in Bardados).
Our knockout singles was won by (I’m not a bandit) Flash Gordon, and our doubles by Frenchie and Captain (shorts) Handley – well done to both of them. The Twilight Cup went to Goosey Vander, whilst the latest 4 Seasons Cup was won by Kevin (I’m no longer a bandit) Sandford. In the midst of it all Sweetie Burnham was once again crowned GOY so let’s hope he buys some new shorts for his investiture.
It then occurred to me you all know all that. I started the Fantasy League in 2014 when King Rex did the website and, apart from him, was the only one who put content on it. What with this new media age everybody seems to do it and WhatsApp gives us all the chance to be outspoken whenever we want. I need some new ideas for next year.
Meantime in news you may not have heard my coccyx now has a chance of recovering after its summer battering using a buggy on Locke’s Spinney – I have never lost so many balls on the fairway before. Meantime I saw in one of Gordon’s reports on the swindle (or was it Graham’s) that Tim Wayman had gone to 'Cypress' and thought he meant he was in the trees again, but evidently, he has 'declared' in the swindle in the hope that other challengers mess up.
In my latest ‘game of golf – if you can call my golf that’, I had Don’t Tell Im Pike, Jimmy Carter, and Sturdy Oakley. All they talked about was holidays. Dave was off to Florence where the forecast was rain so he was worrying the streets may get flooded, whilst Pikey fancies himself as Poldark and regularly goes to his tin mine in Cornwall. Anyway young Pike shared one of his recent holiday photos.

I think JC said Portugal was his destination, but I was too busy hitting my hundredth shot to hear him.
Anyway, when we in for coffee Dave talked about his winter trip to Antarctica and shared a photo. I don’t know if he has relatives there!
We reported on the interim prizes last time so if Robot and Mr Cormack haven’t had their money chase Belly – remember he is an accountant and needs to pay for his cricket tickets. In the table these two still lead but Get Carter and Sandpit are catching up. We are also into the last interim prize phase; its mainly fun competitions to come and those can be won by outsiders. Time to take a chance on a transfer I think.
PS1. Just turned-on BBC to watch next weeks news. I think it has been pre- recorded
PS2. Nobody owned up to a tattoo in last edition’s competition so try this months. Estimate how many times a BBC reporter said ‘How do you feel’ in the next week. Score 1 and if they say it was amazing in the answer score 2.
PS3. Good day arranged by Ash or is it Ashwin or is it Ashwinkummar. Known him years but never knew he had that name. Anyway, he kindly gave me a lift. I helped him carry in the prizes and then carry them out again as he won them all
